If you began working for a Michigan public school reporting unit before July 1, 2008, your eligibility for an insurance premium subsidy benefit depends on if you are an active member or deferred member at the time of your retirement.
For subsidy eligibility, you're considered active if you earned one-tenth (0.1) or more years of service (YOS) in each of the five school fiscal years immediately before your retirement effective date, or at least one-half (0.5) YOS within the two school fiscal years immediately before your retirement effective date. In either case, you must be employed in the month before your retirement effective date (see details on how you earn YOS) unless the summer birthday provision applies or your employer granted you an unpaid leave of absence due to a mental or physical disability supported by your personal physician.
When you retire, you will become eligible for the maximum premium subsidy benefit allowed by law as of your retirement effective date (unless you're subject to a delayed premium subsidy).
You are deferred if you are vested but leave public school employment before you meet the age requirement for retirement and did not take a refund. As a deferred retiree, the amount of the insurance premium subsidy benefit you qualify for will depend on when you terminated your public-school employment and how many years of credited service you have.
